Working with wood which has been created and nurtured by God is a relaxing and fulfilling hobby. I hope to illustrate this blog with handiwork which comes from my work and I hope you will enjoy seeing these photos. I also hope to add to essays and thoughts I have added previously to "Things Unseen".

"One good man, one man who does not put on his religion once a week with his Sunday coat, but wears it for his working dress, and lets the thought of God grow into him, and through and through him, till everything he says and does becomes religious, that man is worth a thousand sermons -- he is a living Gospel -- he comes in the spirit and power of Elias -- he is the image of God. And men see his good works, and admire them in spite of themselves, and see that they are God-like, and that God's grace is no dream, but that the Holy Spirit is still among men, and that all nobleness and manliness is His gift, His stamp, His picture: and so they get a glimpse of God again in His saints and heroes, and glorify their Father who is in heaven."
